Museum Reina Sofia - Plaza Santa Isabel,52The permanent collection in the Reina Sofía is almost exclusively made up of Spanish art from the 20th century, with works by many of the most important artists (Picasso, Miró, Oteiza, Julio González, Tapies, Equipo Crónica, Gerardo Rueda) but with a notable absence of many others. Also on permanent display are the Propuestas (Proposals) where work of international artists such as Barnet Newman, Soto, etc. can be found.
This museum is recommended as 'essential' not solely because its permanent collection raises it to the level of the above mentioned Pompidou Centre or Tate Gallery. It can also be deemed essential because it is where Madrid's most important modern art exhibitions are displayed. Also to be praised are the attempts by its directors to provide an interesting and varied programme, as well as the museum's acquisition policies which are to purchase current works rather than try to fill in missing gaps in its existing collection. This would in any case prove impossible because of a lack of both funds and availability of works. These policies could convert the museum into a excellent exhibit of art dating from the 1980s onwards
